Other Info
Charm: Allows you to control your target. There are some monsters that are un-charmable. These include beastmen, monster like Marids and Cockatrice; these are often called "big game." The success of charm is directly related to your charisma, the level of the monster, your level, and the type of the monster. Charm is a light based attack and therefor gains bonuses from items that improve light based attacks such as the Apollo's Staff. The duration of charm depends on several variables including your level in comparison to your targets level. The charm duration can be extended with the use of armor pieces like beastmaster artifact set.
Gauge: A job ability that allows a beastmaster to approximate the success that they will have when attempting to charm a monster. Gauge takes into account your current stats and beastmaster level as well as the level of the monster you are “gauging.” The gauge ability was used to confirm that your overall beastmaster level is what determines your charm success rate. This study was particularly useful in concerns with beastmaster as a sub job.
